THE PERSONAL STORY:

Lauren’s uncle, mo’s big brother, worked as a set dresser in Hollywood.  And as can happen being so close to hollywood their lives have crossed paths with more than one celebrity.  On the back bookshelf is a red hot rod with a rabbit in it which pops up again in the letter R.  The month of August is the birth month of another one of mo’s brothers and her mom . . . grandma to Lauren and now great grandma, or ‘ggma’ as she has been affectionately dubbed.   Oh and we mustn’t forget mo loves green apples !!

THE ART STORY:

Not too much special here.  It is1of 3 interior environments and chose to darken the window to give that thick glass window look.   There is an avocado poster in the waiting area that pays homage to Rene Magritte.
